Disclaimer- I don't own anything besides Sarin Ruba (pronounced RAoo-
baeah).
A group of people equal to a small squad are sitting at a couple of tables chatting amongst themselves while eating food on military style trays. Five people enter four men and one woman. The man in red and glasses, the dark skinned man in green, and the blonde man with one eye and red and blue all look to be in their late teens while the fourth man and the woman in black with two red eyes both look to be about 16 or 17. The younger man is the only one who has any kind of weapon at his side, a one handed sword with a black skull near the handle and two identical curved knives on each hip. This man is dressed in a long brown trench coat that goes down to his ankles, brown pants, brown shirt and brown boots. The front part of his hair is spiked down in front of his eyes, while some of the back is tied up in a pony tail. He is wearing black goggles over his eyes.
"Man, as soon as I get accepted I'm going to request to go down to Kilika and help them rebuild down there." The man in brown said.
"We just have to see if you get accepted first. You can't let your self get too confident in your abilities." The man in red said.
"SARIN RUBA!!!!!" one of the soldiers watching the group yelled at the man in brown as he walked up to the group
"Yevon, I have been here for a month now and you still haven't gotten the name right. It is pronounced RAoo-baeah. If you choose on calling me by my full name then you need to get it right." Sarin said to the guard.
"Don't care about that. You need to lose the weapons, boy. There are not to be any weapons held by Crimson Squad canidates unless you are on the field or in training. And loose the goggles, you look ridiculous." The guard said.
Sarin just laughed off the last comment, he was used to people saying that too him but he preferred to wear them because of his "unusual" heritage. He did however; hand over the sword and the blades that were at his side. After getting their food the five people walked to an empty table and continued their conversation after being interrupted. Sarin took the seat across from the woman in black.
"I just realized that I didn't catch any of your names." Sarin said while looking at the woman in black
"I'm Nooj, the guy dressed like a Yevon priest is Barali, and the blond is Gippal. The girl's name is Paine." The man in red said, and when hearing the Nooj say his name he looked at him with an eye brow raised.
"So you're—"Sarin was about to finish he was interrupted by Paine.
"What's with the goggles? The only people that seem to wear them are Al Bhed, but you don't seem like one because you don't carry around any Al Bhed machina." Paine said, and after she finished he lifted his goggles up and onto the top of his head and then opened his eyes to reveal one eye to be ocean blue and the other to be an Earthen brown color.
"I've seen eyes like that before." Barali said after looking at Sarin for a while.
"Yea, Lady Yuna has the same kind of eyes. Isn't she half Al Bhed or something?" Paine put in.
"Well I am the same way. My mother was an Al Bhed, named Ruba, and my father was a former Guardian, when he was young, who moved in with my mother after he spent a few years aboard an Al Bhed ship he gained their trust and learnt the language. I spent 6 years of my life at Home, but after my parents where murdered in Luca on their way to the docks to come back from a Blitzball game, so I packed up what little stuff I had at the time and wandered around Spira looking for any clues to find out who did it so that I could kill them when I got strong enough. Oh well enough about me." Sarin puts the goggles back over his eyes and finishes the food he had taken. Just then Maester Kinoc entered the area and addressed the crowd when they quiet down and look up at him.
"We will be having the final test for the candidates for membership to be members of the Crimson Squad. You will be separated into groups of four. Some one will be recorder while the other three with fight. Your objective will be to investigate the cave that in Mushroom Rock Road. Recorders you are to record whatever you see in there. The other three will have to protect the recorder from any fiends that appear. That is all." Maester Kinoc said and then left. Everyone picked out their groups and much to Sarin's disappointment; he missed out getting in the group with Paine. He gathered up his sword and daggers and put them in their right place and got in a group but never left an eye off Paine.
"As soon as this is over I am going to ask her out." Sarin thought out loud to himself.
Now inside the cave
"Yevon, this place is almost like the Farplane!" Sarin said out loud to no one in particular.
And almost as if waiting for some one to say that, pyreflies began to swarm around people and people began to scream and fire off their guns at random directions and even deliberately at each other. Sarin himself would be just like them but for some reason he was left alone from the pyreflies, probably because he left his gun back at the base because it was the one piece of machina that he hated. He watched as one of the protectors had shot and seriously wounded the other protector and then shot and killed the recorder. He then fell down dead with a shot to the head by the first protector that he had shot, that one then died of his wound. Sarin then ran towards Paine and the others and stopped there and watched as Nooj, Barali, and Gippal had their own guns pointing at each other and put them down, apparently breaking what ever hold that was over them. Sarin was about to walk up to Pain and check to see if she was all right when the last of the candidates with guns managed to fire one shot off towards Paine. Paine turned and looked as the man fired the gun and then saw Sarin jump in the way of the bullet and dropped to the ground holding his right shoulder that had been hit. He then pulled out a secret knife he had in his coat and threw it at the man, hitting him right in the throat. He was dead before he hit the ground. Sarin just laid there holding onto the wound. Paine ran up to him to see if he was ok.
"Can you stand, Sarin?" Paine asked helping him up.
"Yea, but you four need to get out of here. I'm just going to rest for a while." He said as he propped up against a wall. He handed Paine the large sword.
"Here...you keep it...as a gift." He said with a smile.
"Thank you. Hope to see you when you leave here" She said as she took the sword. As she turned her back, and large one-eyed wolf appeared and jumped at Sarin, He quickly drew one of the daggers from his hip and thrust it into the wolf's eye. As Paine was about to turn around, Sarin told her to leave and as she did Sarin killed the fiend and then dropped to the ground, bloody but otherwise intact. Before he passed out he managed to give himself a healing potion and then slipped out of consciousness.
3 years later
Paine is tossing around in one of the beds aboard the Celsius.
"SARIN!!!!!!!" she yells as she snaps awake. "Damn, it was that dream again." She said as she put her head in her hand.
"You have that nightmare a lot?" Asked Nooj at the foot of her bed.
"No, Captain, just on the eve of the mission that would have chosen who would be Crimson Squad members. Every year since then I had that bad dream. I'll tell you about it some other time." Paine said as she covered her self as she got up from the bed. "Also do you mind?" She said as she pushed Nooj out of the way.
"Just show up on the bridge after you have something to eat and get dressed. There is something we got to show you and you have a visitor.
Author's note- Yea this is my second fic. This one of many fics that I have been thinking up a lot while at work. You can be surprised at what you can think of while cleaning a school during the summer. And listening to Anime theme songs and other stuff like that. Hope you people read my other story Anime Invasion and please R&R this one as well.
